Sir, I am currently in 1st year of engineering in rvitm so what I have to do to get better placement in the last and where I can find about internships and courses to increase my skill set

Ans: As a first-year engineering student, you’re already on an exciting journey. Here are some steps you can take to enhance your chances of better placements and build a strong skill set.
1. Focus on your coursework. Build a solid foundation in core subjects like mathematics, physics, and engineering fundamentals.
2. Engage in hands-on projects related to your field. Collaborate with peers on mini-projects or join college clubs, attend workshops, hackathons, and technical events. These experiences will enhance your practical skills. Learn programming languages (Python, Java, C++) and gain proficiency in data structures and algorithms , explore automation, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. These skills are valuable across industries.
3. Internships provide real-world exposure. Look for summer internships or part-time opportunities during the semester. Google offers software engineering internships globally. Keep an eye on their application dates and apply when they open.
4. Also attend industry seminars, conferences, and webinars. Network with professionals and learn about industry trends.

Sir, My son is not interested in computer related jobs. However, he has deep interest in physics. Based on his choice, he likes two engineering branches (from good/reputed institute (like VIT/Thapar Institute) - Either Mechanical engineering or Electronics and communication engineering. So, please suggest regarding the following queries. (1) From package/salary point of view, which one would be better - Mechanical engineering or Electronics and communication engineering (Considering, having job in core sector)? (2) From profession growth point of view, which one would be better - Mechanical engineering or Electronics and communication engineering (Considering, having job in core sector)? Please suggest from short and long term perspective.
Ans: If he wants stable government jobs (PSUs like ISRO, DRDO, BHEL, ONGC, BEL, etc.) → Both ME and ECE are equally good.

If he wants a high-paying career in India (private sector) → ECE is better (VLSI, semiconductor, telecom are booming).

If he wants international opportunities (Germany, US, Japan) → Mechanical is good for automotive/aerospace, but ECE is better for semiconductors.

If he is interested in future technology (Quantum, AI hardware, 6G, IoT, Chip Design) → ECE has a clear edge.

If he enjoys hands-on work (machinery, engines, aerodynamics) → Mechanical suits him better.

For best career growth and salary: ECE (core sector like VLSI, 5G, semiconductor, telecommunications, embedded systems).

For passion in classical physics and machines: ME (with specialization in Robotics, Aerospace, or Renewable Energy).
